Eleanor, princess of Altdorf

Right. So phase 2 of my Altdorf army is its commander. I was planning a nuln army the whole time until I painted those Demigryphs. Love painting red and blue and gold. Looks so regal. So. Converting the ‘Graveyard Rose’ Elspeth von Draken on her carmine dragon is my next level. Going to really give 100% on the freehand of this. It's a beast but I need something to throw myself at. I've snipped off her lovely scythe and replaced it with a scary blank canvas! At least it fits beautifully. Also going to add some feathers and shields to her mount to make it feel a little more Altdorf. Ill be good with updates of this. If only for the proof I actually did it!!

As for rules I'm hoping who ever comes up against it will be happy for me to use the old Elspeth von Draken ones!

Finished Demigryph phalanx!

Needed to blast through these as quickly as possible before I got sloppy. So happy with these. Will get some proper pics soon.

Reinforcements!

Right. It's time to tackle the last three. I cannot say enough about airbrushing the first few base colours. It's kept the painting interesting and I can just jump into the free hand. All vilajio air colours. I've tried to keep the orders and paint schemes as different as possible. And I'm painting them in stages but essentially 3 at a time.

Demigryph squad

Right! Finished the front rank of demigryphs! The bases have interlocking mud so they have an order. The capt is knocking over a fence! Vandal!

Back on it!

Demigryph Knights WIP

Doing this on my phone so apologies for the layout. Demi knights are stunning models and this will kick off the mammoth project of painting my empire army. Gone for an Altdorf paint scheme as red and blue are lovely complementary colours to work with and blend. So far I've finished one knight to get my pallet down, then it's time to grind out 6 of the buggers.
ENJOY!
